I recently re-discovered my 2.8V / 850mA and 4V / 850mA PR base halogen bulbs... together with the small 2R10 flashlights, and the 5000mAh 21700 cells from Keeppower, that have EXACTLY the same size as those odd 2R10 batteries.
So I took an old Daimon (also available under the brand name Berec) 2R10 flashlight, removed the 2.4V PR vacuum bulb and inserted a 4V / 850mA halogen bulb :devil:
Now THAT was the best decision I could make! MAN what a light!! It outperforms a 3D Mag now... and the reflector didn't melt, even after half an hour of continuous use. Whoow, this little light suddenly is VERY usable, and has become a firm favorite of mine. Every time I switch it on, I get a huge grin on my face
For more run time, the same voltage bulbs (2.8V and 4V) are on their way to me, but with a current of 500mA. A UK based company I never heard of before (Rapid Electronics) sells these at VERY favorable prices...
Now I need those 2.5V / 500mA versions, for use with 2 NiMH cells, but these are expensive if not bought per 100 pieces.... but finally I WILL buy them!!
